Behold NASA captures groundbreaking images of Venus surface

Smothered in thick clouds Venus surface is usually shrouded from sight But in two recent flybys of the planet the Parker Solar Probe used its Wide Field Imager or WISPR to image the entire nightside in wavelengths of the visible spectrum the type of light that the human eye can see and extending into the near infrared
